Bio Oil

I used it for a few months after my daughter was born after a recommendation from friends and family. It seemed to work for everyone else and it did eventually for me as well but not as effectively as I had hoped, my scars are still there and the oil itself blocked my pores easily and caused minor breakouts (on my stomach???). I used it daily after showering using a cotton pad to apply. The cotton pad absorbed a lot of the oil but it didn't seemed to affect the amount that got back onto your skin when applying so I didn't end up wasting any. It did however take a while to dry so I would be stuck for a while waiting to put my pants on so that I wouldn't stain my clothing. The months I spent doing this daily ritual didn't seem to get me anywhere very fast so I would assume that it would take longer to see effective results. I however became frustrated and discontinued using it due to the slow progress and the price.

I used this after my son was born and on other scars around my body, I didn't find that it made much difference,

Although it is great for dry skin, i ended up just using it on my legs and it left them feeling hydrated

I found it slightly greasy and took awhile to wash it off my hands or off the floor as it always squirted everywhere.

Great as a make up remover though, just make sure to throughly cleanse all the residue off your face

I used Bio Oil after having my first daughter, I had extremely wide, purple stretch marks. I applied Bio Oil every morning and evening until the bottle was finished which took around 3-4 weeks. It never got rid of my stretch marks or scars but it did shrink my stretch marks by half the size so if I had of continued using it...it may have got rid of them?

It did rub in nicely and I felt it wasn't too greasy afterwards.

I purchased this Bio Oil after being sucked in by all the media hype of it being beneficial for scarring, but unfortunately thats all it was for me, hype.

I used it religiously for about 6 months with no results and people kept telling to keep using it as it takes long but eventually I would have results. I kept on and kept on.

The application of the oil is like rubbing fish oil on your face. Its a really thin oil and is doesnt feel very nourishing after application. Its takes a long time to get absorbed and all my skin felt was oily.

I'm not sure if it wouldve worked if I kept on using it, but I believe a product should at least give some minimal change to your skin if its really going to prove to be scar changer after months of use.

Sadly I dont recommend this oil to amybody because its expensive and didnt work for me.

I decided to give Bio-oil a go during my pregnancy lathering my belly throughout and it did the trick! not a stretchmark in sight! Though I failed to remember the back of my legs. I loved the result but I'm not overly keen on the smell nor how greasy it is in comparison to other body oils I have chosen to use.

I have used this product for two different reasons and it worked well for both. First when I was pregnant I rubbed this on the bump twice a day, it felt lovely. It's strange that it is oily yet almost dry feeling, this is a feature Bio Oil. I did not end up with any stretch marks. I am not saying this is a miracle product but for me I am sure it helped. The second reason I have used this Oil is for dry skin and found it very soothing and helpful. I would definitely suggest giving this product a try. It also smells lovely.

Bio oil really surprized me I had a baby last october so I got strech marks not only on my Tummy but also on my boobs and now they are still there but are no way as bad, I also had a scar above my knee in highschool now its half in size I totally belive in this product

I used this on my belly and breasts when I was pregnant and have 0 stretch marks on my belly and very minimal scarring on my breasts. I wished I used this behind my upper tthighs as I didnt and did end up with stretch marks there. I also used this on rashes I get from some shampoos and laundry powders and its very soothing. I even put a few drops in my hair from time to time after straightening it and found it good for flyaways. I found this quite expensive so look out for it in sales or promotions.

I love using bio oil it makes your skin so soft and supple while minimising and fading stretch marks. I used it through the first half of my pregnancy and didnt get any stretch marks (it helped fade the one that were already there yay!) But i found it to be a little too expensive to continue using as i was using it two or three times a day on my belly, hips, legs and boobs . I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wanted to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars!!

I used bio oil during and after pregnancy on all those areas they suggest and it did not stop me getting stretch marks, and I don't think it made one ounce of difference to help them fade either! I have heaps of stretch marks, but maybe I am just more prone to them than others? (I was HUGE too, people kept asking of I was having twins, which I wasn't, so that might have something to do with it.) What helps stretch marks fade is time, and they continued to fade at about the same rate after I stopped using bio oil. As a moisturiser though I think it did an ok job, the areas I used it on though aren't dry areas for me anyway so I don't really think I can make a fair comment on that. The left over i have works well as a massage oil though, just gotta work on getting my husband to give more back rubs!
